The American "Dollar Princess," formerly Mrs. William. B. Leeds, widow of the multi-millionaire tinplate king, is not a princess after all.

Recently married to Prince Christo pher of Greece the row finds that his name has vanished from the official list of Great princes.

Be asked, and received per mission to change his nationality in order that he might take the title of a Danish count.

He was also compelled, it is said, on the eve of his marriage, to take a complete renunciation of his right to the rank and prerogatives of a prince of Denmark, which he had held as well. His wife, therefore, cannot claim the privileges of, a princess, nor can she even assume the title.
